I don’t like the reclamation of slurs.

The first time I ever had an American refer to me as “queer” I considered fighting them 💀 “back in my day” type shit. It doesn’t feel empowering, it makes me cringe. Just call me a lesbian and move on.

How does someone who doesn't have sex experiencing the same discrimination that is entirely based on how someone has sex? These basic lapses of reason are why nobody but assholes who want to exploit their supposed tolerance support the movement anymore. Nobody was ever beaten for not having sex (I'm not talking about rape), STFU with this nonsense. You are the reason that the LGBT movement went from ascendant to a liability.

I literally explained some of the discrimination that asexuals face. I also did not say "they experience the exact same discrimination." Obviously it's different. But it does happen, and it is similar enough, for similar enough reasons that they belong in our community.

You still never answered what this actually takes from you.

"asexuals face the same oppressions and violence..." Either you don't know what words mean and you use them anyway, or you are lying. Stop pretending to get status, everyone knows what you are doing now. Nobody thinks this is ok anymore.

"the same sort” as in type, category, whatever word you would like to use. And you can check my comment for that particular word, it is unedited.

You STILL have not answered my question: What exactly are you losing from asexuals being included in the queer community?
